There was developed an algorithm of selection of young men with high risk of hypertension development in the next five years depending on hereditary anamnesis of primary hypertension (HAPH). Primarily (2000–2006 yrs) and repeatedly (2007-2008 yrs) 227 men of 18–35 years old were examined, having initially normal and high normal blood pressure.
Using the method of multiple linear regression and calculation of odds ratio the predictors of hypertension development during next 5 years follow up from 1st examination (mean period of follow-up — (4.6±1.3) yr) were determined. As predictors the following ones were identified: initial age, body mass index, smoking, end diastolic diameter and left ventricle myocardial mass index, parameters of veloergometry and ambulatory blood pressure measurement.
